Cartographers Desk and Map Sharing.

[Iceburg71]

I know it has been asked about for quite a long time now, but please consider again!

 

Can we PLEASE get a cartographers desk added to be able to share maps in multiplayer?

 

Here is how I see this working:

 

Specs

1. It is SIMPLE to build. maybe like 10 wood, 5 stone, and 5 paper. Something like that.

2. It is 1 block wide, 1 block deep, and 1 or 2 blocks high.

3. Hit Points would be similar to doors.

 

Single Player:

1. When you visit the cartographers desk, your current revealed map is added to the desk along with any marks you have set.

2. On death, you lose your map! You still have your compass to take you back to your backpack, but your map is GONE!

3. To retrieve your map, you visit the cartographers desk and your map is back and so are your marks!

 

Multi-Player:

1. When when any player visits the cartographers desk, their current revealed map is added to the desk along with any marks you have set.

2. On death, you lose your map! You still have your compass to take you back to your backpack, but your map is GONE!

3. To retrieve your map, you visit the cartographers desk and your map is back and so are your marks!

4. All players in your party\allies revealed map and marks are copied in to the cartographers desk, and you can copy the info from the cartographers desk to your map.

 

PVP:

1. If the cartographers desk it destroyed, the map and marks are also destroyed. So protect it or you can lose your map and marks when you die!

2. Cartographers desk can be upgraded to withstand more damage just like wood blocks. So wood, wood reinforced, metal, concrete, steel.

 

I feel that some way to share maps is needed. This idea makes it valuable for single player and for PVP as well!

Thoughts?
